Chapter 14 - That Friends of the Unfortunate

"Ah!, Instructor! You're back!" - ???

a door was opened not fat from Kyne, and at his right side, a girl ran from inside the building and towards Doeren, she greeted him while bowing and also calling him instructor, looks like she is one of the student or disciple here.

Her appearance is quite normal from other girls that Kyne usually met, maybe except the fact that maybe this girl is a little above the average beauty of other girls of her age, but that doesn't make Kyne interested at all.

"Luala, we have a new member joining in, you should greet him" - Doeren

He then points his finger at Kyne, in which Luala responded by tilting her head in confusion.

"Um, Instructor, is he really a new member?" - Luala

"Hm?, Yes, is there something wrong?" - Doeren

"No, it's just, isn't he a little too old? Hes probably already at his middle age." - Luala

"Oy you brats, im only 34 years old." - Kyne

"Ehh... That is still old" - Luala

"The fuck did you say?" - Kyne

They both were ready to throw hands but was stopped by Doeren.

He told them to stay calm and also scold Luala for disrespecting Kyne, soon they both were instructed to just calm it down and then go inside, Doeren said that there are more student than just Luala in here.

.

"Hoooh.. Its a bit peaceful here i must say." - Kyne

The building is shaped like a hollow square that has many branches for rooms like dormitories, there is a playing field at the middle of the building for student that wants to play or just enjoying the scenery since it is also a place where there are a big oak tree with roped swing and a large rock that can be used as a sitting place.

Going inside, Kyne could see that its actually much bigger than he thought, while he was walking throughout the hallway with Luala and Doeren, there are occasionally some student that walk past by, there are boys other than Kyne in here, it somewhat makes Kyne feel a bit relieved to see other man, all of the students seems to always greet Doeren when they meet eachother.

"So, how about it, you like it in here?" - Doeren

"No, i don't get why you chose me when all of your previous student are all teenagers, and who are they?" - Kyne

"Thats..." - Doeren

He seems reluctant or confused as to what he should answer to Kyne's statement, in the end he told Luala to go meet her friends, she doesn't seem to mind or think about what Kyne had said, he wonders why.

"I'll tell you something, come." - Doeren

A one on one talk, now that sounds more interesting, since Kyne is already curious with many things about Doeren, he followed him without any reply.

They both walked through the park, in there Kyne also meets almost all of the student, if he were to guess the number, there is probably around 20 or more of them, everyone seems to be enjoying their time here, its as if Doeren have become a part of their family.

'Did he only took people that have lost their parents? Or did he already asked for permission?' - Kyne thought

'No.. he forcefully kidnapped me and came out of nowhere, most likely he did the same thing too to others.'

Moments later, they arrived at a room that is labeled as Instructor's Room, Doeren opened the door for Kyne and let him in, inside Kyne saw a bunch of hanging clock that is inactive, the room is decorated with a gloomy kinds of atmosphere that gives the impression of serenity and calmness.

Doeren closed the door and then approached his table, ontop of the table is a paper that he forgot to save in the drawer.

He grabbed the paper and showed it to Kyne vaguely.

"Do you know what this is?" - Doeren

"What?" - Kyne

"This is, the list of every victims that were killed in Dordén massacre a few days ago" - Doeren

"Wha-.."

Upon hearing that, Kyne's nerve trembled as adrenaline rushed towards his brain, creating a feeling of shock and also dumbfounded.

"How did you have that information, who are you, and what is your goal."

Kyne's hand is already holding his sword, ready to do whatever it takes for him to know Doeren's true identity.

"Calm down now, i stole it from the Crime Management when they were about to send it to the castle at the capital." - Doeren

'What the fuck.. He stole that extremely confidential information from Crime Management that easily?!' - Kyne thought

"You're going to ask why i did it right?" - Doeren

Kyne flinched, this old man had already read his mind.

"What if i tell you, that every student in here, everyone that is present, are the victims sons and daughters who lost their parents at the Dordén massacre." - Doeren

"..."

Its really unbelievable, Kyne really did not want to believe it, but at the same time, he can't do anything reckless right now, what hes saying might be crazy, but its not impossible too, there is a possibility of him telling the truth, he Kyne prefer to not cause a scene, when he sees those kids smiling and playing as if nothing has ever happened to them, he was sure that its a genuine happiness.

"Its not really EVERY single victim, but i had to choose the most compatible and talented one." - Doeren

With a sigh of relief, Kyne calmed down and decided to hear what Doeren had to say.

"Here's what i want you to do, Kyne." - Doeren

"Please, be an instructor in this small academy."

"Huh?." - Kyne

That is one thing that Kyne had the least expect from Doeren, an instructor here means he will have to deal and personally interact with the students, and for Kyne who usually only enjoys being alone or two, its really tiring to talk and guide 20 people at once.

Doeren had already shutted his ears, he doesn't want to hear anything Kyne have to say about it.

.

.

"DAMNIT YOU OLD MAN!!!" - Kyne

"Everyone, from now on, this person will be your new instructor that will teach you many things, his name is Kyne, say hello." - Doeren

"Hello!" - Every Student
